The Dogs are finished!

I'm so pleased to share that just two years and two weeks after it appeared on my first UFO list, I've finished the dog portraits! For those of you who haven't been following along since the beginning, these are thread painted portraits of three of my dogs, mounted portrait style (only the top edge sewn down a la Jean Wells) to a separate quilt background on which silhouettes of said dogs have been thread sketched. To see more posts about this project, click on the Dog Portrait tag.

The label text reads:

"The Dogs" Bullett, Missy, and Pumpkin. Now there are four and Pumpkin is gone but they are all always in our hearts.

At some point I'll have to do a project incorporating the new two (Bentley and Shooter), but for now these three are staring out at me, filled with personality.

About Me

I'm super excited to have a place to show some of my quilts and projects. I consider myself an Art Quilter with-a-capital-Q, but also love to draft and make bags, dabble in embroidery and crochet, and generally participate in the awesome craftiness that the modern blogosphere has facilitated! If you like what you see, I hope you'll consider adding my blog to your RSS reader or following along.
